I think I need to read an article on playing AK or something.
I play AK scared because I usually miss flop and have to fold.
So why should I build up pot pf? Mostly they dont fold pf and sometimes dont fold postflop with pp if flop is ragged.

It would seem that way. I was a little hesitant playing AK too, esp, with 3-betting preflop. But now that I think about it, AK is the best non-paired hand preflop. I'm ahead vs any hand except for pocket pairs (lots of ppl will play AQ-AT for stack, esp if they're suited, cuz it 'looks nice'). Even if i'm up vs. pocket pairs, i've got decent chance of winning (even though behind) vs. anything QQ or lower.
